[quote=Anonymous]DS is barely 2 and already my parents are insisting he could be gifted based on their Google research. I appreciate their enthusiasm and praise for their grandchild, and sure, I expect it from grandparents, but I don't want this continuing and DS eventually hearing them say stuff like this. If he is, great, if not, that's fine. They had high expectations for me as a kid and I don't think their constant insistence that I was capable of doing everything but just too lazy to try hard enough was a good thing for me in the long run. It was never ok to not be great in something, i.e. I wasn't a great math student but because I did well on the math SAT courtesy of a test prep class, I "would've done better if I tried harder." I hope this is just a first-time grandparent phase. [/quote]
